A report shows almost 72% of Canadians who used cannabis in the 12 months before the national cannabis survey of 2023 was conducted bought only from a legal vendor. The main reasons cited for buying from legal sources were product safety (38%), convenience (17%) and a desire to follow the law (13%). Other findings include:
- The type of product used by Canadians varies, with dried leaf or flower cannabis and edibles being among the most used;
- Last year, 8.7% of adults aged 18 to 24 and 10.3% of those 25 to 44 used cannabis daily or almost daily in the previous 12 months, compared with 4.8% of adults aged 45 years and older; and
- Among adults aged 45 and older, men were more likely to use cannabis daily than women, while sex wasn’t a factor in adults younger than 45.
